Sightseeing

Around the Alcazaba

Alcazaba was built in 11th century, it is Malaga's most important building of the
Moorish epoch. In its interior you may visit the very interesting Archaeological Museum .
It is worth visiting as well the beautiful gardens with several fountains, and the beauty of a Roman theater. Near by there is the Castillo de Gibralfaro. Originally it was a palace built probably by Phoenicians, but in 14th century Moorish Caliph Yasuf I had built over it the fortress which is conserved until today. Two of its towers are connected by ducts with the Alcazaba.

The Cathedral

The catholic Kings conqured the Moors from Malaga and ordered in 1528 to build a cathedral over the original mosque. Construction was finished in 1728, and the façade is mainly of this later period. Among the highlights are the chapels, Capilla Mayor and Capilla del Sagrado Corazón, and the beautiful choir-stalls.
